Should I bulk/cut or recomp in one cycle?

[Arg404]

IÂ’m currently half way through my first (10-week) testosterone cycle. So far, I gained 12 lbs of muscle (prob some water) and no significant fat gain/loss. My goal was to both gain muscle and lose fat. I only gained muscle.

I was always 15-16% BF. Before the cycle, I was stuck at that BF before starting Testosterone and couldnÂ’t go below despite having a caloric deficit. It still didnÂ’t change since I started the cycle.

IÂ’m not sure if I should cut for the second half or last 4 weeks of the cycle or should I try to recomp. The issue with recomp is that I am afraid that I might not change my body composition at all and keep the same weight. It is really hard to stay motivated without being able to see much muscle definition.

Also, how long is a reasonable timeframe to go from 15-16% to 11-12% BF without losing muscle on Testosterone 250mg? (Assuming that I am on testosterone) I started at 115lbs and now I am at 127lbs. I am 5’ 1.5” male.

I guess I shouldÂ’ve been more specific. My diet consists of 2000 calories a day and 180g pf protein on average. I do eat healthy always and workout 5-6 times a week.

I am conscious that probably 50% of my gains are water and if I start cutting I might stall my muscle gains. However, I thought that that way I can use the anabolic effect and be able to burn fat faster without losing muscle mass.

However, I also know that itÂ’s easier to lose fat than gain muscle, so it might be more efficient to only bulk while on Test. Since I have more muscle mass, I assume that it might be easier to lose fat after than before my cycle.
